Recycled materials as part of climate adaptive paved surfaces

Abstract

Climate adaptability of the pavement is an inseparable part of the holistic concept of sustainable development, construction, and operation of transport infrastructure in Slovakia. The constructions are implemented at a reasonable price and quality concerning transport and environmental safety. Currently, the emphasis is on the circular economy and the resulting minimization of the carbon footprint. One way to achieve this is using climatic, energetically active STERED material. Preliminary measurements of the absorption and retention of the STERED boards were objectified as part of the research on the design of new “green” pavements.
